With the spread of automobiles that use gasoline as fuel in recent years, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons resulting from exhaust gas emitted from a muffler, blow-by gas exhausted from an engine crankcase, and raw gas vaporized from a fuel system. Due to the progress of air pollution due to environmental pollution, passenger vehicle exhaust gas regulations have been enforced in Japan in 1978, and exhaust gas regulations have been enforced from new model vehicles produced in April 1979 for gasoline engine vehicles due to environmental protection. For hydrocarbons, we use a so-called canister, which is a device that adsorbs vaporized gasoline generated in the fuel system tank of a gasoline engine vehicle and then returns the desorbed gasoline to the engine, so-called canister to suppress the gasoline discharged to the atmosphere. Was there. That is,
When the temperature of the gasoline tank and carburetor float tank rises due to the temperature rise during the day or direct sun exposure when the vehicle is stopped, part of the gasoline evaporates and the vaporized gasoline contains an adsorbent such as activated carbon. Is introduced into the canister and is adsorbed and collected. Next, when the vehicle is running, the atmosphere is introduced into the canister, the gasoline adsorbed and collected in the canister is desorbed, introduced into the engine and burned. If this canister is attached to a new vehicle, it is usually used as it is until it is scrapped, and the adsorbent contained in the canister repeats adsorption and desorption scanning of vaporized gasoline for such a long period of time.

However, the recent trend of new model cars is to reduce the size and weight of the vehicle and to increase the power, which leads to the miniaturization of parts, which inevitably requires the canister to have a smaller capacity, which increases the adsorption / desorption capacity of the adsorbent, that is, the adsorbent. It has been desired to increase the gasoline adsorption amount and desorption amount per unit volume.

In such a situation, the present inventors have noticed that powdered activated alumina has good adsorption and desorption capabilities for vaporized gasoline,
An adsorbent obtained by mixing coconut husk activated carbon, wood-based activated carbon, or powder of these plant-based activated carbons, and preferably powdered activated carbon having a packing density of 300 g / or less, and granulated and molded is currently used in a canister. It was discovered that the adsorption and desorption capacity of vaporized gasoline is greater than that of adsorbents. That is, it has been found that an adsorbent obtained by mixing 20 to 80% by weight of powdered activated alumina and the remaining powdered activated carbon and granulating the mixture has excellent adsorption and desorption ability of vaporized gasoline.

After mixing with water, the mixture was pressure-molded by an extrusion granulator having a diameter of 1.5 mm and then fired at a temperature of 300 ° C. to produce a granular adsorbent. The adsorbent was tested by the following adsorption / desorption test. That is, a cylindrical canister with a volume of 300 cc was filled with each of the adsorbents No. 1 to No. 7 in Table 1, and in the adsorption test, 1.5 / gasoline was injected into the flask in the thermostatic chamber kept at 65 ° C. min
